CAMP LEWIS, WASHINGTON 


AMP LEWIS, WASH., has been pronounced by all competent authorities 
the best and most ideally located camp in the whole United States, and 
now that the war is over it is expected to be made a permanent camp as 
was promised by Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker. 

Camp Lewis is named after Meriwether Lewis, of the famous Lewis 
and Clark expedition which originally explored the Columbia River and 
the Northwest. It is the largest of the 16 National Army Camps brought 
into existence by the exigencies of the great World War in which the 
United States has taken such a noble part. Camp Lewis, how'ever, is not wholly the 
result of the great war, as for over twenty years previous to its building it had 
many times been projected and many favorable reports were made with respect to it, 
two notably by Generals Murray and Funston. In view of the immediate need arising 
and because of the fact that nowhere in the west, especially on the Pacific Coast was 
any other site available, the War Department decided to locate the Camp near 
American Lake, some 17 miles from Tacoma and 58 miles from Seattle. Due to the 
public spiritedness of the citizens of Pierce County, 70,000 acres were given to the 
Government, a two million dollar bond issue being passed for the purpose. 



The Camp has been built to accommodate some 48,000 men and to train all 
branches of the military service, excepting aviators. It has been especially utilized 
to train men from the western states of Washington, Alaska, Oregon, California, 
Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana and Arizona. Some 122,092 white and 
1,928 colored troops have passed thru the camp for training purposes, about half of 
whom were sent to France, either with the Wildwest Division, the famous 91st Divi¬ 
sion which went over intact from Camp Lewis, or with various other organizations. 

Within the reserve are located beautiful Sequalitchew Lake and the southeastern 
portion of American Lake making it easy to provide an abundance of pure water. 

It has been built as a complete army training camp, having all the essentials ot 
an up-to-date modern training cantonment, excepting for an aviation depot. One of 
the largest remount stations, to accommodate 15,000 animals has been built. In 
addition rifle pits, target ranges, dugouts, trenches and artillery ranges have been 
constructed. 

i'he whole camp is shaped in the form of a magnet, with the prongs reaching 
out to the east, where they are bent outward to follow the rising ground, leaving a 
great open parade ground between the north and south legs, upon which thousands 

©CLASH 215 


of troops drill or parade at the same time, while toward the east, where the prairie 
widens out there are ample facilities for manoeuver, rifle and artillery ranges, where 
hills form natural barriers or butts. 

The placing of each half of the cantonment at the base of these hills gives a 
most ideal arrangement to the military units. It also agrees with the railroads pro¬ 
jected and since constructed which run from one end of one leg to the other. 

At the west end of the south arm are the Quartermaster’s barracks. Ammuni¬ 
tion Train stables, followed by the Ammunition train. Supply train. Signal Divisional 
Headquarters and Supply Train stables. Machine Gun Battalions, 26th Infantry 
Brigade, Signal Corps, 13th Field Artillery Brigade and stables, while at the ex¬ 
treme tip of the leg is the Auxiliary Remount Depot. At the west end of the north 
leg is located the Base Hospital, Hospital Barracks, Sanitary Train, barracks* Sani¬ 
tary Train and isolation wards; Y. M. C. A. headquarters and buildings; Library, 
Knights of Columbus headquarters hall, followed by the 27th Infantry Brigade* the 
166th Depot Brigade and the Development battalions, while at the eastern end of 
the north leg, running athwart, are rifle ranges, modern war trenches due'outs etc

13 th Field Artillery Brigade 


Brigadier-General Wm. P. Ennis, Commanding 


N August, 1918, the 13th Division was ordered to be former at Camp 
Lewis, Washington, and to be ready for overseas duty by November 1, 
1918. 

On August 7th and 8th the following field officers reported for 
duty with the 13th Field Artillery Brigade: Lt.-Col. Harold E. Marr, 
Lt.-Col. Julian I. Chamberlain, Major Harry Hulen, Major John H. Mc- 
Ilvaine, and Major Arthur A. White. With the exception of the last 
named officer, these had come from Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, where they had 
been instructors in the School of Fire. By virtue of his rank, Lt.-Col. H. E. Marr 
took command of the Ai’tillery Brigade. 

On Friday, August 9th, about sev¬ 
enty officers, first and second lieuten¬ 
ants arrived, having been transferred 
to this Brigade from the Field Ar¬ 
tillery Replacement Depot, Camp 
Zachary, Taylor, Kentucky. The fol¬ 
lowing week these officers were as¬ 
signed to the component organiza¬ 
tions of the Brigade: Brigade Head¬ 
quarters, the 37th, 

38th and 39th Field 
Artillery regiments 
and the 13th Trench 
Mortar Battery. 

On August 30th, a 
detachment of 221 en¬ 
listed men arrived 
from Camp Taylor, 

Kentucky. These men 
were sent with the 
purpose of supplying 
experienced men for 
appointment as non- 

Lt.-Col. Harry Hulen, Brigade Adjutant commissioned officers, 

mechanics, cooks, etc. 

In compliance -with orders the local Depot Brigade had held 
1,500 selected men for the Artillery Brigade. These were trans¬ 
ferred August 14th. The men had been classified and were as¬ 
signed to duties similar to those which they had filled in civil life. First Lt. Clarence

BRIGADIER-GENERAL WM. P. ENNIS AND STAFF 


Tentative drill schedules were adopted. Much credit is due to Lt.-Col. Marr. 
His hard work in the preliminary organization had much to do with the excellent 
showing of the Brigade made some few weeks later. 

The following few weeks new officers arrived: Graduates and non-graduates 
from the School of Fire, Ft. Sill, graduates of the Central Officers’ Training Camp, 
Specialists from the Radio Schools and overseas officers (chiefly Captains), sent to 
command the Brigade batteries. Infirmaries were organized and medical officers as¬ 
signed. Veterinarians were assigned to the Horse Regiments. Colonels Bailey and 
Donahue arrived from overseas duty and were assigned, respectively, to the 37th 
and 38th Regiments. 

On September 16th, Brigadier-General William P. Ennis arrived and assumed 
command of the Brigade. 

The weeks following the arrival of the General were characterized by work and 
then more work. Some material for training was issued, thirteen 3-inch guns and 
twenty-four British 75s. About thirteen hundred horses were distributed to the 
two Light Artillery Regiments. Schools were established for men, non-commis¬ 
sioned officers, and officers. Special 
schools were established for special 
work, such as radio and telephone in¬ 
struction. Nightly lectures were 
given to all officers of the Brigade by 
officers of the French Mission and by 
officers of the Brigade. The General’s 


Staff attended a school conducted by the “Traveling Circus” of foreign officers. 

On Friday, October 25th, 1918, Lt.-Col. Wallace, Artillery Inspector from 
Washington, D. C., arrived. It had been only eleven weeks since the first officers and 
men were assigned to the 13th Field Artillery Brigade and less than six weeks since 
the arrival of General Ennis. We quote from the report, dated November 5th, 1918, 
sent in to Washington by Lt.-Col. Wallace: 

“Authough the Brigade has been organized for a comparatively short time and 
instruction in the various subjects has been by no means completed, I consider the 
Brigade much better prepared for service abroad at this time than were several 
Brigades with which I am familiar and which have been sent across. * * * The 
organization and effort is in every way superior to that noted in the brigades in¬ 
spected up to this time.” 

It would, indeed, be unjust not to give the enlisted man much of the credit for 
the excellent showing of the Brigade. The enlisted personnel was of the highest 
quality.

BRIGADIER-GENERAL WM. P. ENNIS AND OFFICERS. 13TH FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE 













The Headquarters Detachment, 13th Field Artillery Brigade, consists of sixty- 
seven enlisted men, who were selected from the various contingents because of their 
educational and occupational qualifications. In a short space of time it is imprac¬ 
ticable to train inexperienced men for the duties required in the headquarters of an 
artillery brigade. 

They are employed in the five departments of Brigade Headquarters: Adminis¬ 
tration, Munitions, Operations, Intelligence and Signal, which includes radio and 
telephone. Listed among the personnel are civil engineers, mining engineers, 
draughtsmen, camouflage artists, wireless operators, telephone men, chauffers, auto 
mechanics, and interpreters, each one an expert in his line. 

Captain Theodore E. Buechler and 1st Lieutenant George H. Kelly have been 
assigned to duty with the detachment.

Camp Lewis, Washington 

Continued from Second Page. 

Ihe number of buildings and structures in the camp are more than 2,500 and 
the camp cost nearly seven million dollars. It has a modern water system, an up-to- 
date sewerage system, electric lights, railroads, some 30 miles of hard surfaced 
roads, an incinerator, a fire-fighting equipment suitable for any modern city. It has 
also a bakery capable of turning out 36,000 pounds of bread each twmnty-four hours 
and a Base Hospital that probably has not its equal on the American continent. It 
is capable of handling 1,500 patients and is being added to constantly. The Base 
Hospital is completely equipped with the most modern apparatus and has a record 
for successful treatment. 

For general welfare work amongst the troops there is a branch of the Red 
Cross which has done excellent work for the troops, a beautiful Hostess House run 
by the Y. W. C. A., while the Y. M. C. A. has some 10 buildings thruout the grounds. 
The Knights of Columbus has also 3 buildings located thruout the camp. The 
Christian Science, Salvation Army, Jewish Welfare Board and the American Librarv 
Association are also represented with buildings. The Camp Library is a commodious 
building stocked with many thousands of books and has rendered a real service to 
the men in camp. 

In addition, located at the gates of the Camp, is a place for recreation—Greene 
Park—where the men of the camp can secure clean amusement.

Capt. Theodore E. Buechler 


























37th Field Artillery 

Col. B. Bailey, Commanding 

HE public at large for more than a year have been told by the press, 
correspondents, and magazines the nation over, of the abilities, activi¬ 
ties, and personnel of our various fighting units over there, but little 
or nothing has been said or known of Uncle Sam’s forces, which the 
ii'ony of fate, geographical position, etc., did not permit to show to the 
world on the big stage in Europe the mettle of which they were made, 
nor the efficiency they possessed. This is especially true of the Field Ar¬ 
tillery arm of the seiwice, and more particularly of the 37th Regiment 
of the 13th Field Artillery Brigade, which, from August, 1918, to the present, has 
been in training at Camp Lewis, Wash. This regiment has made a remarkable record 
from the time of its organization, and within three months has been whipped into 
one of the finest Field Artillery units in the American Army. 

The Regiment was organized at Camp Lewis in July, 1918, when our over¬ 
seas fighting forces numbered about 2,000,000 men. It had but few Artillery officers 
fresh from Officers’ Training Schools at Fort Sill and Camp Zachary Taylor, and the 
men practically all from the Replacement Depot, knowing nothing of Field Artillery. 

The Regiment had as its first Commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Harold E. Marr. 
He organized the regiment and retained command until the arrival of Colonel Bailey. 
It was this latter officer, just arrived from overseas, where he rendered most dis¬ 
tinguished and efficient service, who, in the short period of less than three months, 
made it one of the ablest and most efficient artillery units in the American Army. 

An Officers’ School was started on September 23rd, 1918, mornings and after¬ 
noons, one-half of the officers appearing at the former and the other half at the 
latter. In addition all officers also attended the Brigade Officers’ School daily for 
an hour in the evening. 

The Regimental Band was at the same time organized, and in the November 
and December Reviews, received many commendations for its splendid showing, it 
being one of the few mounted musical units. 

At first only four guns and nine caissons were available for each Regiment which 

had to alternate among the various Batteries. 

Colonel Bailey was ably assisted in his work by Majors Andrew B. Christian 
who had likewise seen active service overseas, and Arthur A. White, a West Pointer. 
Major Christian looked after the Officers’ classes and Major White, Equitation, while 
the various Battery Commanders kept pace in their respective spheres. 

On October 1 , 1918, a schedule of Advance Drill was ushered in followed by 
more advanced work on October 14th. Batteries were simulating fire on the Roy 
Sector three miles distant, and later, when ammunition arrived, service fire was 
taken up. The various Battalions alternated daily in this practice. 





The Officers and men of the 13th F. A. Brigade of which the 37th is one of the 
units, progressed so rapidly that they earned and received a very high commendation 
on November 13th, 1918, and which read as follows: “The War Department Inspec- 



COL. B. M. BAILEY 


tor of Artillery, as result of his inspection, reports that the Artillery Brigade, this 
Division, at the present stage of training shows a degree of proficiency in excess of 
that of many other divisions that have already gone overseas.” 


And while the 37th Field Artillery was not able to “go across” as Colonel Bailey, 
all his officers and men so ardently desired, however all have the satisfaction of 
knowing that they were trained into and became one of the most proficient Artillery 
units in the American Army. Colonel Bailey is noted for accuracy and rapidity of 
movement whether in fire or otherwise and this, the 37th Artillery imbibed from 
him. While most of the officers and men will shortly be engaged in civilian pur¬ 
suits, Colonel Bailey will doubtless remain in the Regular Army, ready again when¬ 
ever his country needs him to fight or to whip into shape a regiment of fighters as 
he did the 37th. 


One can only surmise what an enviable record the 13th Artillery Brigade, 
and particularly the 37th Regiment of that Brigade would have made for them¬ 
selves and their country had they been permitted to go across and “send them over” 
against the boches.

39th Field Artillery (Heavy) 

Col. Harold E. Varr, Commanding 

HE history of the 39th Field Artillery is a story of rapid development. 
Just when service overseas appeared to be a reality and not a vague, 
indefinite goal, the signing of the armistice suddenly brought this de- 
devolpment to an end more or less permanent, for although the regi¬ 
ment may be continued after the war as an organization of the Regular 
Army, as a regiment of men drafted for the world war, it appears to 
have reached its destination. Although hampered by a lack of equip¬ 
ment and material, the report of Lieut.-Col. Wallace, the inspector 
from the office of the Chief of Field Artillery, showed that the regiment in less than 
three months of intensive training had already achieved much, and if more concrete 
proof is required, it has been furnished by the subsequent firing of the batteries in 

the Roy sector. _ 

Although carried in the brigade as a regiment of Heavy Field Artillery, being 
rated as a motorized regiment of 155 MM Howitzers, the peculiar conditions pre¬ 
vailing on this side made it necessary for most of the instruction of officers and 
men to be in the Principles of Fire, as laid down for the light artillery. Further¬ 
more, in order to be prepared for the more than probable conversion of the regi¬ 
ment into a horse drawm regiment wffien it had moved overseas, it became necessary 
to give instruction in all departments that dealt with horses and equitation. Five 
nearly wmrn out trucks were issued to the regiment and from this assemblage two 
trucks were reconstructed which gave very effective service later in moving the 
guns from the park to and from the firing sector. 

Major John H. Mcllvaine reported for duty at Camp Lewis, Wednesday, August 
7th 1918 and was assigned to the 39th Field Artillery. Two days later, eighteen 
officers from the Replacement Depot at Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky, reported 
and w^ere attached for duty. Permanent headquarters were established on August 
16th and on the following Monday, the officers were assigned to the regiment; on 
the day following, INIajor Mcllvaine began in earnest the organization of the 39th 

Field Artillery. „ , , i 

On August 22nd, Lieut.-Col. C. A. Mitchell reported for duty and assumed com- 

cand of the regiment. A second group of officers reported from Camp Zachary Tay¬ 
lor and were attached to the regiment on August 24th. These officers were newly 
graduated Second Lieutenants from the Field Artillery Central Officers Training 

F'iirnT) 

The Regimental Band and the Bugle Corps were established and began duty, 
Lieut Weldon L. Moore, Acting Regimental Adjutant at that time, being responsio e 
for the rapid development of the band, which later took high rank among the bands 
of the division. On August 31st, the regiment passed in review Jir the first time. 
The first three of a long list of officers to join this regiment from Fort Sill, reported 


on September 5th, having completed their course at the School of Fire. Two days 
later a second group of officers reported from the Officers’ Training Camp at Camp 
Zachary Taylor, eighteen Second Lieutenants being in this group. 



Colonel Harold E. Marr, 39th Field Artillery 

By the end of September, officers with the gold and the blue overseas chevrons 
began to report and were assigned to the regiment. One of these, Capt. Win. H. 
Fritz, was appointed Regimental Adjutant, while others of the overseas officers, as 
well as the graduates of the Fort Sill School of Fire became instructors at the Regi¬ 


mental Officers’ School, which opened on September 23rd. The following subjects 
were studied: Field gunnery, topography and reconnaissance, and equitation and 
the officers were divided into two groups, each group attending school on alternate 
days. A week later an officers’ school for the entire brigade was inaugurated. At 
the same time, a regimental non-commissioned officers’ school, conducted by specially 
selected officers, was started. 

Lieut.-Col. Mitchell, on his own request to attend the School of Fire at Fort Sill, 
was ordered to that station, leaving Major Mcllvaine in command. A few days 
later. Major E. Montgomery reported, and as senior officer, assumed command. On 
September 30th, Lieut.-Col. Marr, 37th F. A., the present commanding officer, was 
attached to the regiment, while Major Montgomery was ordered to Fort Sill. Lieut.- 
Col. Marr had been brigade commander at the time of the formation of the brigade. 
The close of the month found the regiment with 1,548 men assigned. 

The first of October found the regiment well organized, most of the officers 
having been assigned. The motor school was organized October 4th, the attendance 
composed of skilled mechanics and those wishing to become chauffeurs and mechanics. 
Capt. H. E. Anthony, commanding Battery B, was detailed regimental adjutant, 
October 19th, to fill the place left vacant by Capt. W. H. Fritz. 

Despite the influenza, the schedule of drill laid down by brigade headquarters, 
did not suffer and a new feature which consisted of the construction of gun em¬ 
placements by each battery, was added, while a further addition to the usual duties 
of the regimental and battalion staff officers was attendance at staff problems, 
among which were a machine gun demonstration, artillery service firing and bar¬ 
rages, and a divisional problem in which particular attention was paid to the 
department of liaison. 

It was during this month that the regiment was inspected for fitness as to over¬ 
seas duty by Lieut.-Col. Wallace, the representative of the Chief of Field Artillery. 
As was to be expected, this inspection, and the general trend of preparation in all 
the various details, made expectation for service in France or possibly Siberia, run 
high, but the events of November 11th, were destined to eventually kill these hopes. 
The report of Lieut.-Col. Wallace was most flattering, and a feature of this report 
which gave much gratification was the recommendation of Lieut.-Col. Marr for 
promotion to a colonelcy and the command of the regiment. This recommendation 
was approved and he was assigned to the command. 

The regiment had been having regimental reviews since early in its formation, 
but on November 2nd it participated in its first brigade review, the forerunner of 
others which followed nearly every week. The final culmination of these reviews 
took place when the regiment marched in the divisional review, at the head of the 
13th Field Artillery, on November 23rd. In all of the brigade reviews and in the 
divisional review, the regiment was dismounted and received much favorable com¬ 
ment on its appearance. 

One of the significant details of approaching overseas service before the signing 
of the armistice, had been the appearance of a camouflaged Holt Tractor in front of 













COL. H. E. MARK AND OFFICERS OF 39TH FIELD ARTILLERY 




















Regimental Headquai'ters, November 9th. This was reported to be the forerunner 
of six similar tractors, although the latter never arrived. This tractor has done 
excellent work to and from the firing sector and has drawn as many as eight loaded 
caissons and one piece at a time. While the signing of the armistice could not but 
cause great rejoicing upon the cessation of hostilities, there could not but be regret 
that the regiment was not destined to fulfill its function as a fighting unit. 

From this time forward, a gradual let down in drill hours and schedule to a 
peace time routine followed, although this must not be understood to imply that 
there was any let down in military discipline. Firing on the range has been a val¬ 
uable feature in serving to keep up the interest of the men. 

The decision of the War Department to make the 13th Division a lasting organ¬ 
ization of the Regular Army will serve to place the 39th Regiment of Field Artillery 
on the permanent rolls of the national forces and it is to be hoped that the splendid 
showing made by this regiment in its infancy is but the forecast of a vigorous matur¬ 
ity that will put the name of the 39th high on the list. 

Colonel Harold E. Marr, commanding officer of the Thirty-ninth Field Artillery, 
began his military career by enlisting in Co. K, 2nd Maine Infantry, in May, 1900, 
serving as private, coi-poral and sergeant until June, 1906, and as second lieutenant 
until September, 1908. He then received a commission as second lieutenant in the 
regular army and joined Battery B, 2nd U. S. Field 
Artillery in November of that year at Camp Colum¬ 


bia, Cuba. He served with this organization in Cuba; 
Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo. Vancouver Barracks, Wash., 
and Camp Statsenburg, Pampauga, P. I. In ]\Iay

and assigned to the First Field Artillery which was 
also serving in the Philippines. 

Col. Marr remained with this organization when it 
was sent to Schofield Barracks, Oahu, H. T., com¬ 
pleted his foreign service tour in July, 1915, and was 
then assigned to the Fifth Field Artillery at Fort 
Sill, Okla. 

He did duty wdth his regiment at Fort Sill and on 
the border until November, 1916, when he was de¬ 
tailed as Inspector-Instructor of the New England 
National Guard Field Artillery with station at Bos¬ 
ton, Mass. 

He had received his captaincy in July, 1916, and 
in August, 1917, was appointed a major and assigned 
to the 301st F. A., at Camp Devens, Mass. In Octo¬ 
ber he was detailed as an instructor in the Firing 
Department of the School of Fire at Fort Sill, Okla.,

38th Field Artillery 

Lt.-Col. Julian I. Chamberlain, Commanding 

ATE intei'^’cned to prevent a test of the real mettle of the 38th Field 
Artillery upon the held of honor in the world battle for freedom. Yet 
the quickly developed, high spirited individuality and the high degree 
of prohciency attained after less than three months of complete or¬ 
ganization presaged at the time of the end of hostilities that its record 
would have been illustrious. 

The history of the Regiment dates back to July 10, 1918, when the 
War Department ordered that it form a part of the Thirteenth Field 
Artillery Brigade in the new Thirteenth Division to be formed at Camp Lewis, Wash 

It was not however until August 12th, that organization was begun, which was 
directed by Lieutenant-Colonel Julian 1. Chamberlain, Coinmanding Officer to whose 
inspiring personality and able leadership is due in greatest measure the commendable 
esprit and co-operative zeal indicated by both officers and enlisted men. 

On August 12th, the assignment of seventeen officers enabled a tentative or¬ 
ganization to be formed. IMost of the enlisted men came after the September draft. 
But with the assignment of 547 men from the Depot Brigade on August 16th, and 
the receipt of 232 more three days later, a formal training schedule was immediately 
put into effect. 

During the months of September and October the Regiment grew to a strength 
of over 1,400 enlisted men and eighty officers; of the latter fifty-one were assigned. 

The last day of August saw the beginning of real artillery training. A battery 
of material was drawn for instruction pui'pcses and the exercise of calisthenics and 
“doughboy” drill was supplemented by the calathumpion antics necessary to the 
snappy execution of the school of the cannoneer. 

The “doughboy” atmosphere was almost entirely dispelled when on September 
4th, 350 horses were drawn. Major Derosey C. Cabell, Jr., who was then attached 
to the Regiment assumed charge of equitation and instruction in the care of the 
horse. Later, upon his leaving the Regiment, charge of this department devolved 
upon Major Shontz, whose general efficiency has contributed greatly to the military 
merit which the Regiment has attained. 

On September 15th, Brigadier-General Ennis, Commanding General of the 13th 
F. A. Brigade, made his first inspection of the Regiment. Evidence of his ex¬ 
ceptional knowledge and ability in the direction of training in horsemanship soon 
became apparent, and within a few weeks had resulted in the Regiment’s sharing 
honor with the Brigade in being pronounced by a War Department Inspector as being 
in a better state of proficiency than any of the artillery units which had so far gone 
overseas. 

A division Staff School, started on September 19th, was attended by the Com¬ 



manding Officer and his Staff. Division, Brigade and Regimental Schools for both 
officers and men were conducted. 

The setting of the sun did not mark the end of each day’s toil and a Brigade 



LT.-COL. JULIAN I. CHAMBERLAIN 

School for officers was conducted by General Ennis each evening, and the non-com¬ 
missioned officers were similarly provided for. 

On November 2nd the first Brigade Review was held in which the Regiment 


won favorable comment and the following Saturday a second Brigade Review took 
place amid the joyful expectation of early overseas service, but the signing of the 
armistice two days later caused fond hope to wane. 

A picturesque touch was added to the appearance of the regiment on November 
8th, by the arrival of camouflaged British material which consisted of 16 pieces, 
31 caissons and 36 limbers. This additional equipment gave opportunity for more 
intensive training of cannoneers and by the latter part of the month service fire was 
started on the range east of the camp. The conduct of fire by the officers of the 
Regiment has compared favorably with those of the other units of the Brigade. 

Except for a period of three weeks, during which Colonel William H. Donohue 
was in command, Lieutenant-Colonel Julian 1. Chamberlain has been the commanding 
officer. 

The 38th Band has been a source of pride to the Regiment. No issue instruments 
at the beginning were available and the band was therefore started under difficulties; 
but, within two weeks after organization, a very creditable concert was given at the 
Regimental Bandstand. At the same time the first Regimental sing of the Brigade 
was held, that voiced the “peppy” spirit of the enlisted men who were assembled for 
the first time on that occasion. In connection with the band, a Regimental Orchestra 
was organized which has furnished excellent music upon various social occasions. 

Despite the absorbing strenuousness of the training programme, the organized 
entertainment of the enlisted men in the Regiment has not been neglected. Each 
afternoon the hour between 4 and 5 o’clock was devoted to organized play which was 
started under the direction of Lieutenant Bright. Out of this developed a baseball 
team. A Regimental basketball league was organized. The inter-battery games 
for the championship were stopped by the “Flu,” but with the passing of the epidemic 
the games continued with the same enthusiastic interest as before. Direction of rec¬ 
reational activities were taken over by Chaplain Page upon his joining the Regiment. 

Chaplain Page has developed a football team “a la Harvard” that has two 
victories to its credit, with others in prospect. The Committee on Training Camp 
Activities has contributed boxing gloves, and other athletic equipment to the Regi¬ 
men which was divided among the various batteries. The regimental recreation hall 
has afforded a pleasant place to spend leisure moments. Dances and other enter¬ 
tainments had been planned but the influenza epidemic interfered with those and other 
indoor group activities as well. 

On October 4th, an unusually delightful informal dance was given by the officers 
of the Regiment at the Recreation Hall. Music during the evening was furnished 
by the Regimental orchestra and some clever cabaret numbers were given by the 
talent from the Headquarters Company. 

The conduct of the personnel has been such that the Guard House has been 
rather a lonesome place. Capt. Wm. C. Johnson was appointed Summary Court on 
September 9th and the first Special Courts Martial was appointed September 23rd 
with the following membership: Major Robert E. Shontz, Captains Rufus S. Frost 











LT.-COL. JULIAN I. CHAMBERLAIN AND OFFICERS OF 38th FIELD ARTILLERY 









and Edward Lee McFarlen and Lieutenants Paul J. 
Koughan and J. W. Hetherington. 

Lieutenant-Colonel Julian Ingersoll Chamberlain, 
Commanding Officer of the 38th Field Artillery, be¬

tillery, Boston, Mass., on January 23, 1901, served 
in this organization until January 23, 1908, as driver, 
caisson corporal, guidon and chief of section. 

Being an enthusiast in rifle and pistol shooting, 
he transferred to Company I of the 6th Regiment 
of Massachusetts Infantry, stationed at Concord, 
Mass., on February 19, 1908, and served in this or¬ 
ganization for two years as private, corporal, ser¬ 
geant and first sergeant, during which period he was 
a member of the Massachusetts Rifle Team in the 
National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. 

His first commission was as 1st Lieutenant and 
Adjutant in the 6th Massachusetts Infantry, June 
20, 1910; transferred to the 8th Regiment of Mass¬ 
achusetts Infantry on February 15, 1912, and was 
promoted to Captain and Adjutant of that Regiment 
on May 2, 1913, seiwing as such until May 13, 1915. 

He was instrumental in organizing the Machine 
Gun Company of the 5th Massachusetts Infantry, 
and served at El Paso, Texas as aide-de-camp to 
Brigadier-General E. Leroy Sweetser, commanding 
the Massachusetts troops on the Border. 

In May, 1914, he had applied for and passed an 
examination for the Cavalry Reseiwe Corps at Fort 
Ethan Allen, Vermont, where the Second U. S. Cav¬ 
alry was then stationed, receiving the grade of Major 
of Cavalry. 

At the outbreak of the present war, he was com¬ 
missioned Major of Cavalry U. S. A., and ordered 
to active duty by the President on May 1, 1917, 
serving as an Instructor at the First Officers Train¬ 
ing Camp at Leon Springs, Texas, from where he

13th Trench Mortar Battery 

Lt. Victor R. Anderson, Commanding 

ORN on the twelfth day of August, 1918, one month and two days after 
the official order came from the War Department at Washington for 
the organization of the 13th Division, and ready for overseas service 
when the world war hostilities ceased, even to the extent of staging its 
“overseas banquet” on the night of November 6, are, in brief, the chief 
chronological events in the history of the 13th Trench Mortar Battery 
of the 13th Division, Camp Lewis, Washington. 

With the arrival on the government’s western military reservation 
of Victor R. Anderson, 1st Lieut., F. A., and Bart N. Peak, 2nd Lieut., U. S. A., 
from Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky, and their subsequent assignment to the 13th 
Trench Mortar Battery, the organization began to shape itself into an artillery ma¬ 
chine. 

Men were assigned to the 13th Trench Mortar Battery, in its early days, on 
verbal orders from the Headquarters of the 13th Field Artillery Brigade, and 
came from the 166th Depot Brigade singly and in groups. 

Men of every w'alk of life comprised the personnel of the battery, ranging froin 
farmers and miners to university and college graduates. 

No man was “out of order” in the 13th Trench Mortar Battery if he could 
shoulder and man a gun in defense of Freedom. From the first time that Lieutenant 
Victor R. Anderson had the men “fall in” they knew what it meant “to keep your 
heart and your gun clean and love your country and your cause.” 

In that “talk” the commanding officer outlined the duties of the trench artil¬ 
lery as “to remain in its place and fight its mortars until receipt of orders to aban¬ 
don the position.” 

Loyalty to each other and their cause has always been a watch-word between 
the officers and their men. 

Many of the non-commissioned officers were picked from the ranks; others were 
selected by the commanding officer from the 221 men sent to Camp Lewis from Camp 
Zachary Taylor, Kentucky, at which camp they completed their course. 

V’ictor R. Anderson, commanding officer of the battery and graduate of the 
University of Wisconsin, was commissioned First Lieutenant, Field Artillery, at 
Fort Sheridan, Illinois, on November 27, 1917. He entered the army on August 
27, 1917. After serving five and one-half months at Camp Lee, Vriginia; one and 
one-half months at Camp Jackson, South Carolina, and one month at Camp Zachary 
Taylor, Kentucky, Lieutenant Anderson received his official notification to report 





to Camp Lewis. He became attached to the 13th Trench Mortar Battery on August 
10, 1918, and was assigned to the organization on August 19. 

Bart N. Peak, 2nd Lieut., U. S. A., was graduated from the University of Ken¬ 
tucky, entered the army on September 22, 1917, and was commissioned Second 
Lieutenant, U. S. A., on June 1, 1918, at Camp Jackson, South Carolina. Lieutenant 
Peak came to Camp Lewis direct from Camp Taylor, Kentucky, and was attached 
to the 13th Trench Mortar Battery on August 7, 1918, and assigned to the organiza¬ 
tion twelve days later. Lieut. Peak was stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor from Sep¬ 
tember 22, 1917, to May 5, 1918; at Camp Jackson, South Carolina, from May 6 to 



July 2, 1918, and again at Camp Zachary Taylor from July 3 to August 2, 1918. He 
was appointed supply officer of the 13th Trench Mortar Battery soon after its 
organization. 

Lieutenant Allan L. Morrison, attached to the battery on August 17, was trans¬ 
ferred to another unit in the artillery September 3, 1918. 

Frank Sargent, 2nd Lieut., F. A., U. S. A., graduate of Kansas State Agricul¬ 
tural College, entered the Army May 15, 1917, and was commissioned at Fort Riley, 


Kansas, August 15. Prior to military service Lieutenant Sargent was an instructor 
in Pittsburg (Kansas) high school, and director of athletics. He was called to 
Camp Lewis from the School of Fire at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, attached to the 13th 
Trench Mortar Battery September 4, 1918, and assigned to the battery October 3. 
With the appointment of Lieutenant Peak as supply officer, the athletic end of the 
battery was taken over by Lieutenant Sargent who took the initiative in promoting 
athletic contests between the members of the organization. Besides being mess 
officer, he was a member of the athletic council of Camp Lewis. Lieutenant Sar¬ 
gent was stationed at Camp Funston from August 15, 1917, to May 31, 1918; at 
Camp Jackson, South Carolina from June 1 to June 15, 1918, and at the School of 
Fire, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, June 15 to August 23, 1918. 


Lieutenant Harry L. Burkhart entered the army September 8, 1917, being in 
charge of a group of first selective service men. He received his commission August 
31, 1918, at Field Artillery Central Officers’ Training School, Camp Zachary Taylor, 
Kentucky. Prior to work at the training school he had somewhat of a checkered 
career in the line, having served in a trench mortar battery as private, corporal, 
sergeant and first sergeant. Lieutenant Burkhart was stationed at Camp Grant, 
Illinois, 10 months and at Camp Zachary Taylor two months. He was attached to the 
13th Trench Mortar Battery on September 9, 1918. 


December 6, 1918, coming to the organization from the School of Fire, Oklahoma He 
was commissioned second lieutenant, August 17, 1918, at Fourth Officers’ Training 
School, Louisville, Ky. Lieutenant Ragan entered the military service July 10 
1916, at Columbus Barracks, Ohio.

13th TRENCH MORTAR BATTERY 























13th Field Artillery Brigade Motor School 


Capt. John A. Katz, Commanding 


Capt. John A. Katz 


HE motor school was started in the early days of the 39th F. A., which 
was to have been the 155 m. m. Schneider'Howitzer heavy motorized 
regiment. Owing to the inability of obtaining an assignment of 
Ordnance trucks the first classes were conducted in the barracks with 
blackboard instruction on mechanical principles and motor construction. 
Through untiring efforts four discarded Jeffery “Quad” trucks and 
a mobile repair cart were obtained from the Quartermaster Corps at 
Camp Lewis and a Holt 55 h. p. 5-ton armored Artillery Tractor of 
the Caterpillar type was received from the Chalmers-Maxwell factory. The school 


was attended by over 300 men of the regiment and soon took on the apnearance.; 
of a class room, garage, machine and blacksmith shop combined Captain John A 
Katz of Headquarters Company, assisted by Lieut. Henry C. Koch and Lieut Richard 
W. Burton, had supervision of the school. The gun sheds at the 39th F A stabler 
were assigned for motor park and shop. The personnel of the school incluXl 
several skilled mechanics, varying from expert magneto and batterymen to bl act- 
smiths and wheelwrights. So well did the men do their work that when anv ittlA 
repair job came up the first thought was “take it to the Motor School—thev’H'fix it ” 
The men soon earned for themselves the saying that “the Motor School can dc 
anything. “
